Has anyone had this problem? Basically the air inside the barrel of the nerf gun smells awful for whoknowswhy. My friend's titan smells and now for some reason so does my NF. Is there any way to fix this? Maybe perfume or something?
Well, did you use plumbers goop?
Some of my guns that I Gooped smelled a week or two later, but it eventually went away.
I've also heard that if you use vegetable oil to lube your guns, it starts to stink. But that wouldn't make sense in the titan.

My guess is that it could be some industrial lubrication that Nerf used/is using on their guns and you and your little friend left your gun somewhere where something else got in it and contaminated the lubrication to make a horrid stinch out of your gun.
This made me remember how people used to buy the stink bomb grenades from the kapowwe company and use them in airsoft. One hit my gun and it stunk for hours after that. It was horrible.

Soap and water, I recently read this Super Soaker thing about cleaning, so I quess try that. Not like it could hurt...

The thing is, with a Super Soaker, you can get a solution of soap and water into the system since the ammo is water. You would just put the S&W solution into the water tank, then prime and fire the gun. With a Nerf gun, however, the system is sealed for the most part, and the introduction of soap into the system could affect the lubrication. Soap is used to cut grease and other lubricants. It is the primary ingredient that is used to eliminate oil spills in open waters. Putting soap into a Nerf gun's air tank or bladder may cause damage to it.
My suggestion is, if you had any intention of opening the gun at all, is to disassemble the air tank system, allow it to air dry, wipe it down with a dry cloth, then lubricate it and put it back together. Don't add anything to it that could possibly damage the system. Only use lubricants that are safe for a gun.

I, for one, love the smell of silicone spray, motor oil, and other sweet scents of the garage.
To others, it may smell horrid. What you smell could just be industrial lubricant that may be a wonderful aroma to others. Does it smell like lubricant, or something like poop?

As the pressure in the tank increases, the temperature of said air decreases.
Temperature and pressure are directly proportional.

Haha oops. Thats the kind of stupid brain fart that happens while Im typing, working on my LS, and talking to my girlfriend all at once. But the principle is the same in the other direction. Warmer internal air meets cooler surrounding air.Temperature and pressure are directly proportional.
